  1. Leaving before they enter ? on More Strange Bose-Einstein Condensate Behavior · · Score: 2
    ...atoms striking a BEC sometimes appears to leave before they enter...

    Can somebody point me to where in the paper this is claimed ? If it's true then what happens if you destroy the atom going in just after the atom has come out ?

  2. Re:Not necessarily good... on Publishing Now Counts As Now · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Yeah, he'd probably eat your balls !!

  3. Steve Ballmer on BBC To Revive Doctor Who Next Year · · Score: 2
    Obviously he should play General Sontaris . The resemblance is uncanny.

  4. Re:Mandatory Upgrades? on Coursey on Palladium · · Score: 2
    If that was the case, then why would anybody be using WinXP ? They'd all be sticking with 95/98.

    Think about how and why people have 'upgraded' to XP.

    Aha, then I shall create my portal of portal portals !!

  6. Re:Are they nuts?! on Microsoft Freon · · Score: 2
    Great ! So when we get Linux on the xbox, we'll have tons of discounted hardware to run it on.

    Go Microsoft !

  8. Re:live365.com on P2P Streaming Radio · · Score: 3, Insightful
    A lot of the stations are not based in the US, thus are not affected by the RIAA's madness.

  9. Dark Days on Spelunking in Las Vegas · · Score: 4, Informative
    For anyone who is interested in this kind of thing, I highly recommend the film Dark Days .

    It's a documentary about people living in the Amtrak subways in New York, and is both fascinating and moving.

  10. Try reading the article on 2600 Magazine Defeats Ford · · Score: 4, Informative
    Ford never made any attempt to contact us before filing this lawsuit in federal court. A simple request to not point the domain at them would most likely have wound up with our doing just that, since the project really had nothing to do with Ford in the first place. But they never even tried to resolve this. In addition, Ford has the ability to block our pointer from reaching their homepage, which would accomplish everything they wanted. Again, they made no attempt to do this.

  11. Re:Sade?? on A User's First Look at GNOME 2.0 · · Score: 3, Funny
    What do you mean ? Sade is *obviously* a big computer geek. What are her two most famous songs ?

    Smooth Operator (an obvious reference to overloaded operators in OO programming languages); and Diamond Life (obviously a reference to hardened carbon based nano machines).

  12. Re:The Y2K bug... on Pet Bugs? · · Score: 1

    How strange...we both posted the same thing at exactly the same time :-)

  13. Y2K on Pet Bugs? · · Score: 2
    Wow...that one was weird !!

  14. Re:DoS? on Legalizing Attacks on P2P Networks · · Score: 3, Informative
    DoS == Denial of Service. Setting up a decoy file is a denial of service (the service being downloading the original file).

    DoS does not always have to mean flooding a network (though that is the most common DoS attack).

  15. Re:Innovation Failing Fast on The Ideas Behind Longhorn · · Score: 2
    It probably means they will optimise blue screens so they come up more quickly.

  16. Re:bias... on CD Copying Kiosks Endorsed in Australia · · Score: 2
    Heh...perhaps the logo on these things should be a guy with wooden leg, an eye patch and a parrot on his shoulder.

  17. Stereolab on Moby Says Techie Fans = Fewer Sales · · Score: 1
    Mmmmm...French Disco :-)

  18. Vorbis on New Open Video Codec From Xiph/On2 · · Score: 2
    I know Tarkin was from Star Wars, but who was Vorbis then ?

  19. Re:Oh! The irony!! on Microsoft's 'Palladium' Privacy/DRM Scheme · · Score: 2
    Do you hold glass manufactures responsible for 90% of home robberies?

    I would if one glass company made 90% of all windows, and those windows randomly shattered and fell out of their frames.

    This new scheme of Microsoft's is like that same glass company saying 'Don't worry, we now sell security grills which can be fitted to all windows, so even if the glass breaks and falls out, you'll still be OK'.

  20. Re:Still gonna knock most hobbyist webcasters out on Copyright Office Publishes Final Webcasting Rates · · Score: 2
    Surely it's the other way round - they would have to prove you WERE playing 'their' music ?

    Or is 'innocent until proven guilty' really gone in the US ?

  21. Re:Laptops != the future of Linux on IBM Dropping Laptop Linux Support · · Score: 2
    It's a shame really, it means that IBM internally will probably go on buying OS's from Microsoft. If they really tried, they could bring out a Lotus Notes client for Linux, and probably switch the majority of their employees over (most of them just use their desktops for email - I know from experience).

    You should follow the advice in your .sig

  23. Re:The only way this will succeed... on Mandrake to Come Preloaded on Wal-Mart PCs · · Score: 2
    WMP is supported fine by the Crossover plugin. If it were really such a big issue, maybe Wal-Mart could work out a deal with Codewavers and get a volume discount.

    Personally I'd rather see WMP with its built in DRM and Microsoft's "let us pay your bandwidth costs" bait and switch, disappear altogether.

  24. Re:Clue for the Lawers on Final Arguments in MS vs. the States · · Score: 2
    Translation from M$ speak:

    "We haven't failed to get some message. We haven't claimed that we're immune from the law or anything of that kind, but we're just going to ignore it like we always do."

    Actually, not very much. Mozilla already does this if you have 'quick start' enabled.
